[Ross.]

In reply to the question, I'd say yes, mainly because the new members probably wouldn't even notice they can't access the c&g until they reach 10+ posts or w/e it will be because as most say, the newbies generally post in the bb forums before even discovering c&g so it wouldn't affect their experience and helps to put other members minds at ease if they are sharing photos on the forum.

I can see the other side of the argument, but I think this place would be a much happier/trusting forum if something like this was put into place.
